The Steelers and wide receiver Antonio Brown have restructured Brown’s contract in order to free up about $4MM worth of cap space for Pittsburgh, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter (via Twitter). Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports (via Twitter) that the move will convert $5.2MM of Brown’s $6MM base salary into a signing bonus, which will be spread over the contract’s remaining years.

Brown, who also reworked his deal last year, was in line to have a $8.47MM cap number for 2014. If his salary has indeed been converted to $800K, that means $1.3MM in bonus money would be added to each of the remaining four years on his deal, reducing his ’14 cap number to $4.57MM.
